Mephite

Mephites (Japanese: メピテス, Mepitesu) are skunk-like enemies in Xenoblade Chronicles X. They are characterized by their large furry tails and their use of a malodorous gas as a weapon.

Description[]

"The enemies of mephites have more to worry about than their sharp fangs and fiery temper-namely a rancid blend of fluids released through their posteriors in a gaseous cloud. The lingering smell of these odorous assaults can persist for months."

"During mating season, male mephites gain a new, ornate coat of fur. As for the females, their exclusive task is to rear infants in a deep vertical den, the entrance of which is cloused in the same malodorant gas to ensure that any and all predators steer clear."

Color Variants[]

Mephites fall into three color variants:

Green Mephites have dark grey fur with greenish-grey markings and no stripes. They can drop a Green Puff.
Black Mephites have black fur with dark red markings and two stripes. They can drop a Black Puff.
Golden Mephites have black fur with yellow markings and two stripes. They can drop a Golden Puff.
